Golden Fruit
By AJK

Innocent seeds sprouting
pushing through the soil
you water them-
give them sun
But you can’t make them grow yourself
you can encourage them
you can plant the ideas
that is all you must do
growth comes from within
It is never forced
they cannot be you
you cannot understand what makes them grow
be a support a calming voice
hold them, be a stake of steadiness
be the great benevolent sun
the light that gives life
only then will you bear the golden fruit
